Rice has been making headlines lately as rumors spread that Republicans have approached her to make a third-party bid for president.

Rice asked if she would run for president; "Kind of not in my DNA to run for office but I was fortunate to serve the country" #TCElections

"A group of Republican donors and strategists has been working to persuade former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to make an independent bid for president, according to a memo outlining the plan obtained by POLITICO Florida.

The group has grown increasingly dissatisfied with New York billionaire Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner who has roiled the party’s establishment as he has surged ahead in the polls."

"Option 3: Support a center-right, third-party candidate for president who would represent a civil rights Republicanism and hold the core message of the party in trust for better days," Gerson wrote. "Former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice would stand for everything Trump does not — gravity, dignity, character and serious moral purpose."
